Nowadays, as new technologies and formats emerge, the regularity of industrial development tends to deteriorate significantly, and the complexity, randomness, and sudden problems increase, posing numerous uncertain challenges to businesses.
Simultaneously, next-generation information and communication technologies such as 5G, artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and blockchain continue to emerge, and they have demonstrated certain benefits in related fields. However, the simple combination of new digital technologies and traditional industries is no longer sufficient to meet the needs of traditional vertical industries, and enterprise digital transformation is entering the “deep water zone.”
Traditional businesses have recognised the importance of digital transformation and have begun to develop digital transformation strategies and plans. However, many issues remain, such as a lack of understanding of digital transformation, ambiguous strategies, ineffective implementation, and ineffective outcomes.
At the same time, the market has many subdivided fields of digital transformation products, as well as various types of products. The demand side struggles to fully understand its product and service capabilities, which slows the progress of enterprise digital transformation.
To address the issues, the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) Foundation Project has launched the “Panorama of High-Quality Digital Transformation Products and Services” in 2022.
CAICT collected application forms from nearly 400 companies during the compilation process, and finally selected 315 companies (including different types of products from the same company) after review and screening to form the 2022 “Panorama.”
The “Panorama of High-Quality Digital Transformation Products and Services (2022)” divides it into two parts: basic technology and application services. It includes technology development, AI, the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud service, data analysis, IT operation and maintenance, and 7 modules of assembled applications in the basic part; marketing, human resources, finance, taxation and legal affairs, project management, enterprise resource planning, sales, customer service, design, general office, and other 9 modules in the application service part.
Data analysis is a basic technology panorama. Cloud computing and AI are the most popular segments, with more than 50 companies participating, respectively. The following directions will concentrate on IT operations, the IoT, assembled applications, and other fields.
In a panoramic view of application services, the first components are general office, marketing, and human resources. Follow-up will concentrate on finance, taxation, legal affairs, sales, enterprise resource planning, project management, and other areas.
In 2023, “Panorama” will continue to be built around digital transformation products and services, fully demonstrating the benefits to all parties in the industry and providing favourable support for the digital transformation of traditional industries in the country.
CAICT anticipates that more companies will participate in the compilation of the “Foundation Foundation Plan” panorama, thereby contributing to industry exchange and mutual learning, as well as the formation of common industry standards.
The public can now apply for the 2023 “Panorama,” which will be chosen through corporate interviews, on-site visits, and expert review. Companies that make the cut will be officially announced at CAICT’s “Foundation 2023-High-Quality Digital Transformation Development Forum.”
The digital transformation of China presents opportunities not only for Chinese citizens but also for businesses worldwide. The nation is still discovering how the local company could be a part of one of the most significant digital transformations in history.
The rise of China is ushering in the Asian century, but companies have yet to fully explore the opportunities it presents. Thus, technology is the solution. The Chinese market is undergoing a rapid digital transformation; understanding this massive shift and how to capitalise on it will be crucial for businesses worldwide.
